Congress Goes Viral
And just when you thought your legislature didn't know you were alive, Congress up and went to YouTube. The House and Senate now have "hubs" on YouTube, with congressional committee channels and a map to help you find the channel for your senator or representative.
The channels are very obviously still a work-in-progress. A search for senators representing California, for example, only returns a channel for Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a search for California representatives returns channels for 17 of the 53 districts in the state. I also noticed that some of the videos leave much to be desired.
But I'm not complaining. My government is actually trying to communicate with me on a platform where I actually spend (way too much) time? I'll take it.
